Not This Time

Intro
I see your words…
I see you trying.
But I’ve learned not to fall for ghosts.

Verse 1
You say I’m amazing, hope I’m not mad,
As if that can erase what we had.
You wonder why I don’t reply,
Maybe because silence is my goodbye.
(so quiet… so still…)

Pre-Chorus
I noticed you saw me ignore,
Every word from you just hits the floor.
I’m not your comfort, I’m not your fix,
I’m the past — I won’t play your tricks.

Chorus
Not this time, I’m keeping my space,
Your words don’t rewrite what you erased.
You lost your chance the day you walked away,
Don’t come back — I won’t sway.
Not this time, I’m holding my ground,
Your apologies? Just echoes, no sound.

Verse 2
I built my walls while you were gone,
Learned to breathe, learned to move on.
You think your words can bridge the gap,
But I won’t fall into your trap.
(fade away… fade away…)

Pre-Chorus
I won’t let your charm undo my fight,
I won’t give your ghost another night.
You missed the moment, you missed the call,
And now I’m rising — I won’t fall.

Chorus
Not this time, I’m keeping my space,
Your words don’t rewrite what you erased.
You lost your chance the day you walked away,
Don’t come back — I won’t sway.
Not this time, I’m holding my ground,
Your apologies? Just echoes, no sound.

Bridge
I don’t need your “hope,” I don’t need your praise,
I’ve survived your absence, I’ve survived your ways.
You can’t rewind the past, can’t undo the pain,
I’m not the same — I won’t play your game.

Final Chorus
Not this time, I’m keeping my space,
Your words don’t rewrite what you erased.
You lost your chance the day you walked away,
Don’t come back — I won’t sway.
Not this time, I’m holding my ground,
Your apologies? Just echoes, no sound.

Outro
I see your name — I look away…
Not this time.
